Chinese Rocket Force conducts drills near US base

Accordingly, the Shandong aircraft carrier strike group has just concluded nearly 30 days of exercises in the Western Pacific , with unprecedented participation and coordination between the navy, the PLA Rocket Force and aircraft carrier air wings. The exercise was held about 740 km northwest of Guam in April. The Japan Defense Agency said the participating ships included the Shandong aircraft carrier, a Type 055 destroyer, two Type 052D destroyers, two Type 054A frigates and a Type 901 general cargo ship.

While Chinese naval exercises near Guam are not new, some analysts say the disclosure of missile troops participating in the exercise reflects the Chinese military's so-called "deterrence strategy," the South China Morning Post reported on May 10.

According to analysts, the move is intended to emphasize that the PLA has strengthened its precision strike capabilities against mobile targets at sea or military bases outside the first defensive island chain.
